I am forever a student of history and of the Buddhist teachings. My tales of adventure draw from my love of history and many years in the study and practice of Buddhism.​Throughout my adventure novels I weave events taken from history with my experience of the Buddhist teachings and the practice of meditation, sharing with my readers the wisdom and methods that have helped me to understand and learn to work with my mind and emotions.

I love adventure, so most of all I create a story that I would want to read.

I live in the California's Sierra foothills on the edge of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon wilderness with my life partner, three horses, five cats, two dogs, and the hawks, coyotes, bobcats, fox, an occasional bear, elusive mountain lions and countless other birds and animals that live on and around my very small ranch.​
